The AFL has today advised clubs that Free Agency Compensation will be advised at time of player move, not at end of Free Agency Period as previously

Going to be an interesting fortnight for us. Looks like we are going hard. I distinctly remember Macca saying last year that we would go hard for a KPP next draft. Hope we land someone good - really good.

I would say that Reid and Carlisle are good.Who knows who else we are speaking to.

Who else do you think could be a potential?

No idea the two I mentioned are the most likely. It won't be this year but boy would I love a crack at McCarthy from GWS. Saw him at the champs and again in the last round against us and he looks very good. Marks the ball at the highest point, is highly mobile, is good on both sides of his body (some of his field passing on his wrong side at the champs was first class) and his defensive pressure is good too. Won't happen this year but he's worth looking at if he can be squeezed out. Other than McCarthy I'd be interested in Jacksh as well obviously.

McCarthy would be my number one target, but I would think unattainable.

No one's unattainable BAD - look at Ablett and Geelong. It just depends how much coin you've got, what you need at the time and what you can trade back.
